Dear Parents, Teachers, and Parish Staff,

 

We are not sending home a Dragon Post today but do have a few items of interest.  They are as follows:

 

ST. CLARE BOOK CLUB

Next fall we are going to start the St. Clare Book Club.  Mrs. Napoli will be teaming up with Amy McAdams, the youth librarian from Capitol Hill Library to facilitate the club’s meetings.  The St. Clare Book Club will meet the third Tuesday of every month from 2:10 – 3:00 in the library.  It is open to 4th – 8th graders who are interested in reading and talking about a variety of different books throughout the year.  The first meeting will be September 20th.  If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Napoli by phone, 503.244.7600 or lmnapoli@hotmail.com.

Congratulations St Clare Track Team!

The St. Clare Track Team wrapped up another successful season last week at the Championship finals held at Lewis and Clark College.   The 5th and 6th grade boys though small in number placed 3rd overall in the team competition.  Congratulations to team members Devin Hill, Levi Gregg, Nick Young, Jordon Wilkie, Nick Isham, Santo Condorelli and Kyle Hagmeier.

 

5th and 6th grade girls Kyla Wisniewski, Taylor Davis, Sierra Duarte, and  Kelly Olsen were back this year with outstanding efforts.  Allie Blaskowsky was a strong competitor in the shot-put and 400 meter dash but missed the championships with an appendicitis.

 

Sarah Freepons had her season best in the 200 meter dash at the classic meet the week before at Milwaukie High School

 

Seventh grader Megan Baglien qualified for the championships in the 800 and ran a gutsy race in the finals.

 

3rd and 4th grade team members Patrick Benson, James Wisniewski, Evan Kalomiris, Jared Jensen, Sonny Davis, Chase Burnham, Elise Francis, Emma Marquard, Emily Boyd, Anna Marie Bittner, and Karen Myers all ran personal bests in their age division Championships at LaSalle High School. 

 

All those practices in the rain really paid off.  Way to go Dragon track team!
